I have no mouth but I must pad.

Now that's a rare GitHub Username!

Though, again, a yet another project for a yet another "AI" to make someone else more dependent on it...

It did one thing that you could write in one line of code. But it wasted space as a packaged dependency instead.

It was left-pad, with a hyphen

Jev is a new type of model that just makes decisions based on given options. It's small and really really fast.

Leftpad is a npm package that chooses if it should or shouldn't pad the left side of a string. It was famous for bringing down everyone's npm installs a few years ago.

This combination is a double joke. Put something stupid in something stupid.

why

Please don't use this in production. Or anything important.

5 to 10 years from now, after this has worked itself deep into the npm dependency chain, we'll be lamenting how Jev-Leftpad is causing outages in critical services.

On the npm doomsday thing, the scarier version is someone vendoring it and the padding silently drifting between runs.

Make sure to vendor this package if you want reliable operation.

    it('trusts Jev when it chooses the wrong amount', async () => {
    answer('space_2');
    await expect(leftPad('jev', 8)).resolves.toBe('  jev');
    });

I thought you were doing a PR to add an 11th space.

im so confused about what i should bring up at the 10am today

I have to be honest. While this is obviously a smart and useful idea, it misses one of the core features of Jev: its confidence scores. Partial confidence could easily be mapped to fractional spaces, using unicode characters like U+2009: THIN SPACE. As it stands, this package is not harnessing the full power of Jev.

But is it Web Scale.

wait.. is it just me or are we going overboard? I am waiting for jev assistance to exit vim, no wait.. a decision if we should exit vim or not.

You need to get the Pro version, please contact sales.

Done: https://github.com/freakynit/jev-test-runner

This needs an SBOM and a SonarQube Qualitygate pass to be considered production grade code

    The tests mock Jev. 

10/10 no notes

i maintained a system where for .. reasons (like other systems) from early days have users with id: null "null" "" and some i do not even know how to write here

so probably early bird

His oldest repository was updated in 2011. Looks like he's been there a long time.

Jev mania at its peak? HN is full of Jev like today.

I already have Jev fatigue.

Terrorist

AI skeptics in shambles. For GOFAI, see: https://swish.swi-prolog.org/p/Proven%20Leftpad.swinb.

it was us that scorched the sky

Instead of using Choice with criteria "space_0", "space_1"..., it could be even more elegant to use criteria names like "", " "... which could be directly inserted into response.
